Martin picked it up subconsciously and stared at the food and blood on the ground blankly.
Marquis said on the phone, "Martin, bad news. The Phillips family went bankrupt overnight because of the usurious loan. Be careful. Scarlett will shift the blame onto the Alwynn family and you. She is very vindictive."
Martin stared at the pool of blood in a daze. It was still bright red. Therefore, it was Gia who had been hit by a car.
He saw her beige backpack and broken phone in the distance.
At the same time, the morning news was played in the TV on the wall in the hospital not far away.
Phillips Group went bankrupt overnight because Abraham borrowed usurious loan and bank loans last year.
Scarlett saw it as well. The presenter was explaining the whole story, while she looked at the TV in disbelief.
"No, it's not like this..." Scarlett was completely immersed in madness and fear.
She always thought that Giada and Martin had ruined her family, so she took revenge on them crazily and let them pay the biggest price.
But what did she hear just now? Her family went bankrupt because of bank loans.
Martin finally came to sense. He walked towards Scarlett with washed-out eyes and looked down at her.
Scarlett suddenly stopped her crazy actions and looked up at Martin's horrible face. His eyes were cold and gloomy, and his lips were pursed into a straight line, looking sharp and terrible. Scarlett had never seen him like this. He was too fierce.
"Crack..." He slapped Scarlett's face with all his strength.
He said in a heart-wrenching voice, "If anything bad happens to Gia, I will make you live a worse life than death!"
After that, ignoring the fact that he was still sick, he turned around, picked up Giada's bag and phone and rushed to the emergency room.
Being slapped by him, Scarlett only felt that her ears were buzzing. She couldn't hear what others said at all. Her ears and nose were bleeding, and it looked so frightening.
Scarlett's mind went blank, and she was tortured by the intense pain.
Martin inquired about Giada and looked for her crazily in the emergency room. In the end, he learned that Giada had been sent to the operating room.
He went straight to the operating room on the fifth floor. Seeing that the red light was on, he knelt on the ground feebly and stared at the door of the operating room with grief.
Victor and Eden rushed over as fast as they could.
When Victor saw that Martin was half kneeling on the ground, he walked over with a furious face and slapped him in the face.
"Crack..." Martin did not dodge and let Victor slap him hard.
"Martin, if anything bad happens to Gia, I'll let all of you die with her!"
Victor was really angry, and his breathing was rapid. He hadn't been so angry for many years. His face turned red with fury, and he was so annoyed that he couldn't see things clearly.
Martin stared at the door of the operating room. If anything bad happened to Gia, he would not live alone.
Eden didn't say anything. She just stood aside and waited, holding the belt tightly with both hands. After so many years, she experienced such a thing once again.
For a moment, none of them spoke outside the operating room.
Victor held Eden tightly, and they comforted each other in this way.
Martin kept the same posture and waited at the door.
Eden looked at Martin. Giada liked Martin. If Martin fell ill again, Giada would not be at ease when she knew it.
She walked over to help Martin up.
But Martin didn't move. It seemed that he didn't know that Eden was helping him up.
He couldn't feel anything around him. All he could see was the tightly-closed door, and all he thought about was Giada who was lying in the operating room.
